Mora took over the Huskies following a 1-11 season in 2021 and immediately led them to a record of 6-7 in year one, while also taking the program to its first bowl game (Myrtle Beach Bowl) since 2015.

Despite the strong first season, he had some struggles in year two as they Huskies went 3-9, but bounced back big time in 2024 as they currently sit at 8-4 on the year and are set to take on North Carolina in the 2024 Fenway Bowl later today.
